Obama's Pledge of Less Power in Executve Branch

"The biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that's what I intend to reverse when I'm president of the United States."
- Sen. Barack Obama, March 31, 2008

This is how Obama keeps his word:
1. Obama has taken over a large segment of the automobile industry, the financial-banking industry, the largest insurance company in America and these are under control of the executive branch.
2. Obama is trying to take over 1/6 of the economy with ObamaBaucusCare which inevitably will be a single-payer executive branch government-run system with huge deficits and increased taxes.
3. Obama has appointed 32 Czars with their staffs in the executive branch, that do not go through Congress, to advise and make policy on a wide variety of aspects of life.
4. Obama is trying to take over the energy industry through his "Cap and Trade" policy which will be run through the various executive branch Cabinet and Czar fiefdoms.
5. Obama is trying to centralize public education under the executive branch and drive private education and home schooling out of the business.
6. Obama and the Democratic controlled Congress have passed legislation with record federal spending, administered by the various executive branch cabinet and Czar positions, and record deficits that make Bush look like a miser.
7. Obama has supported record earmarks in the Stimulus Bill and in his 2010 fiscal budget that far exceed earmarks in the Bush era.

When Obama pledged CHANGE, he evidently meant he would change from what he was promising to what he will actually be doing.

Health Care Debate is a "Trojan Horse"

The "health care debate" is a Trojan Horse for a much larger issue and that is fundamental change in society in the United States. Control of the health care system, along with control of energy and education, will eventually allow Obama and his allies to reshape America into an egalitarian society (call it socialism, communism, progressivism, fascism or whatever) where material goods and services are spread around so that those who initially have more give more and those who initially have less receive more; (except of course for those running the show).
Obama and his associates prefer the debate to be about the boogiemen, such as the insurance companies, or corporate America or the "angry un-American Astroturf racist Nazi mobs" and about the victims, such as those uninsured or the supposed targets of the mobs. By now, every sensible person knows that the deficiencies in the health care system can be fixed without legislation that will evolve the system to a single-payer government-run, high deficits and increased taxes solution.
However, Obama and his associates have shaped the direction of public discussion where it serves as a distraction from the CHANGE that Obama has always had in mind. The public has never quite understood Obama's meaning of change, it is the transformation of the United States into a country where the central government has all of the power and control.

ACORN

Secretly taped videos have shown ACORN housing counselors at five locations giving advice to two young film-maker activists posing as a pimp and prostitute running a prostitution business involving underage illegals girls from El Salvador, on how to conceal their criminal business, and skirt housing and tax laws, .
The acronym ACORN stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
One might ask: who is the most famous community organizer in the world and does he have any connection to ACORN?
1. In a 2004 article in Social Policy , Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN leader, said that under Barack Obama's leadership, Project VOTE in 1992 delivered 50,000 newly registered Illinois voters that helped Carol Moseley Braun win a Senate seat. Of those 50,000 votes, Foulkes wrote, "ACORN delivered about 5,000 of them."
2.Obama, as ACORN’s lawyer, sued Illinois in 1993, to make voter registration more lax.
3.Obama as ACORN’s lawyer, sued Citibank in 1994 (Buycks-Roberson case, above), to force them into giving sub-prime loans to home buyers with poor credit ratings, setting the stage for the mortgage meltdown.
4. ACORN was a driving force for the revised Community Reinvestment Act of 1995, pushing sub-prime mortgages through a very eager Fannie Mae. This allowed ACORN to pressure mortgage lenders to grant bad loans to bad risk home buyers in the name of helping the poor. AS we know now, many of the poor were hurt further with the 2008 financial crisis and widespread foreclosures in 2008-2009. Initially, Fannie Mae prospered and gave Obama‘s campaign $126,349.
5. Obama promised in 2007 to let ACORN and related groups "help us shape the agenda" of his presidency, by meeting with them after the Nov. 4 election. What is their agenda? "Helping low income people?"
6. When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November 2007, he reminded them of his affinity for ACORN and his time as a Project Vote organizer. Sen. Obama said, "I come out of a grass roots organizing background. That's what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That's the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So, this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran the Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work."
7. Obama's campaign funneled $860,000 to ACORN for their 2008 General Election operations, violating their 501(c) tax payer exempt status, and then lied about it.
8. Obama’s campaign Web site in 2008 tried to deny these facts.
9. In September 2009, as President, Obama tries to pretend he hardly knows anything about ACORN.
Is the housing and tax advice for a criminal enterprise the only scandal with ACORN? Not hardly!
10. Even the New York Times knew ACORN was getting donor lists from the Obama campaign and using them to raise more money for "voter turnout" efforts, a clear violation of federal election law.
11. Dale Rathke embezzled a million dollars from ACORN and that his brother Wade, the CEO of ACORN, at the time covered it up and eventually ACORN refused to press charges against Dale. 12. The ACORN Board Members who wanted an audit were expelled from the Board.
13. The FBI arrested 11 ACORN members in Florida,
14. ACORN employees, or its third-party voter registration affiliates, are under investigation for or facing charges of voter registration fraud in 14 states (Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, Minnesota,Virginia and Wisconsin). ACORN is being investigated in at least 20 states.
15. Acorn touts living-wage laws as a way to lift the working poor into the middle class. When California regulators sued Acorn for not paying its own workers the minimum wage, Acorn argued that this would endanger its mission - because it would have to hire fewer workers.
16. ACORN intimidated citizens into early voting in 2008 and told them how to vote.

What If We Had A "Public Option" In The Auto Industry?

Imagine if General Motors had the power over Ford Motor Co. to:
(1) tax Ford ,
(2) set mandates to regulate Fords prices, production numbers, technology and more
(3) initiate politically driven investigations of Ford Motor Co practices, compliance with regulations, how it communicates with customers and more
and, (4) imagine if Ford had to show a profit for its shareholders but General Motors did not have to show a profit because the large majority of its shareholders, the government and the union, did not seek a profit.
How long would Ford survive in the market?
With the government and unions dominating GM and Chrysler, this may be instore for us.
Meanwhile, in the argument for "public option" or "cooperatives", in ObamaBaucusCare, the government run or government subsidized entity will have the real advantages described above over the private insurance companies.
These advantages for the "public option" or the public option disguised as as a copoperative, are in both the House and Senate bills.
Yet, Obama, Baucus, Pelosi, Waxman and rest of the liberal Democrats crowd try to pass off the "public option", or disguised public options, as good for competition. They expect the American public to be so stupid as to actually believe this obvious lie. Of course, the private health insurance companies will not go out of business immediately, just as Ford in the above scenario could hang around for a while. But, the end game is inevitable. Ford would go out of business in the hypothetical situation above and private insurance companies will go out of business or merge into a single-payer government-run health care system. Do you think that you would get an improved car from General Motors if it had the powers over Ford described above?

Placate Your Enemies and Double-Cross Your Allies

1. Placating Russia on missile defense will not work and it sells out allies;
Obama put Poland and Czech Republic in a vary threatened position after they
agreed to accept the now canceled missile system while angering the Russians. Other allies will be far more reluctant to agree to joint plans when they see how Obamais liable to sell them out as well. Former Soviet countries like Georgia and the Ukraine
must feel particularly at risk
2. Placating Russia on the joint nuclear disarmament was naive and stupid because Russia is giving up far less than the U.S.; particularly since many of Russia's long range missiles and warheads are obsolete and would be out of service soon in either case.
3. Placating Iran by Obama thinking he could sweet talk Ahmedinejad into stopping Iran's atomic bomb development was naive and stupid. Obama showed Israel and other potential middle east allies that the U.S. will not be a shield against Iran and others need to fend for themselves against the Iranian threat. Iran will continue to laugh at Obama and the U.S. while it supports the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist activities.
4. Placating North Korea with promises of future economic aid was naive and stupid. Obama has no understanding of what drives the dictatorship in North Korea as they continue their rogue nation economic and military activities and alliances with the likes of Hugo Chavez.
5. Placating and bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia by Obama will not lessen the Saudi's distain for America, will not lower the price of oil and will not block their backdoor support of terrorists.
6. Placating Hugo Chavez and the Castro Brothers with Obama's friendly gestures and promises will not reverse their Presidents for Life dictatorships or their socialist-communist regimes.
7. Placating Egypt, Turkey, and all of Europe on Obama's world apology tours will not get them to pursue economic policies that are anything but in their own best interest and will not get NATO allies to contribute any more in the War with Islamic Terrorists.
8. Placating the leftist and Islamic Terrorists by Obama announcing the closing of GITMO, prosecution of CIA, and promising to be nice to prisoners who want to kill Americans will not keep Al Qaeda or other groups from going full speed ahea d to plan attacks on Americans here and abroad and carry out such plans if they can. It is naive and only weakens America.
OBAMA IS A TOTAL FAILURE IN FOREIGN POLICY.

Jimmy Carter Says You Are a Racist If You Oppose Obama

Jimmy Carter indeed did us all a great favor. It put the asinine comments of Pelosi and other left wing Democrats in a much clearer light. The accusation that opponents to ObamaCare are "Nazis", "Un-American", "an angry mob", "far right extremists", etc. are now topped off with the DESPERATE LAST RESORT ACCUSATION THAT OPPONENTS OF OBAMA ARE RACISTS. In the 1970s, 80s and 90s this often worked as a show stopper and immediately put any critics of a Black politician, leader, athlete or entertainer on the the defensive. It used to be a great "change the subject" distraction. It worked great for OJ.But, this desperate phony cry no longer works despite the the whining of the leftist has-beens like Jimmy Carter.

OBAMACARE IS A DISASTER in terms of cost, future taxes, huge deficit spending, inevitable rationing and overall lowering the quality of health care.
OBAMA'S DOMESTIC HUGE DEFICIT SPENDING POLICIES ARE A FAILURE in terms of out of control earmarks driving future inflation, ineffective in limiting unemployment and unjustified bailouts.
OBAMA'S FOREIGN POLICIES OF PLACATING OUR ENEMIES AND APOLOGIZING FOR AMERICA ARE DANGEROUS AND NAIVE.
ALL OF THIS HAS NOTHING DO DO WITH OBAMA BEING BLACK.IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA BEING INCOMPETENT, NAIVE, NARCISSISTIC AND A SOCIALIST AT HEART.
Obama is a great showman and teleprompter speaker but since he has had to do an actual job as president he has failed.
THE RACE CARD WILL NOT WORK, IT'S A TIRED WORN OUT GAME THAT NOBODY EXCEPT SOME BLACKS AND LEFTISTS WILL GIVE ANY CREDIBILITY.

Truth About Cost of Cap and Trade to Each Family Revealed

1. Under the Freedom of Information Act, a Treasury Department report from March 2009 was made public. The report stated that Obama's "Cap and Trade" plan for limiting carbon dioxide emissions will cost each American household $1761 per year.

2. In April 2009, just one month later, Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA), Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, stated in hearings that the Cap and Trade bill will cost each American household only 40 cents per day which is $146 per year. He was wrong by 1200% according to the official (originally "Restricted") government report. In his position, Waxman had to know about the Treasury Department study. Waxman lied!

3. In June 2009, just one month later, Obama gave a speech and said Cap and Trade would cost each American Household, in 10 years, about the price of a stamp today, about 40 cents. This is in line with Waxman's statement, except in 10 years you can be sure that costs will go up as they do in every single government program. He was wrong by at least 1200% and probably much more 10 years out. Obama lied!

4. An increase in cost for each household of $1761 per year is, on average, equivalent to an increase in taxes of 15% per household. Remember Obama's promise of no tax increases for those making les than $250,000 per year. Obama's Cap and Trade plan is a sneaky way of increasing everyone's taxes; it's an indirect, or hidden tax, that shows up in you gas and electric bills and in higher prices of goods you buy as manufacturers and farmers pay more for the energy they use. This way Obama can claim he didn't directly raise your taxes, but you pay more taxes nonetheless through this roundabout underhanded way. Obama lies once again!

Environmentalists Run Amok and Everyone Pays

1. Genetic engineering of edible crops and livestock along with synthetic pesticides and inorganic fertilizers have saved hundreds of millions worldwide from starving over the past couple of decades. Yet, the extreme environmentalists continue to be hostile to such technology since it doesn't meet their standard of "green".
2. Extreme environmentalists aided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (government environmentalists) have caused a man-made drought in the San Joaquin Valley, California, in order to protect a local species of fish (the delta smelt). They have used the Endangered Species Act to prevent sufficient irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley during a drought. The drought has cost millions in lost crops, created huge unemployment and naturally contributes to an increase in the cost of food.
3. Environmentalists have campaigned against offshore drilling for oil and drilling in the Alaska ANWR region when the security of this nation and its economic viability is to a large extent in the hands of countries that are our enemies; 60% of petroleum is imported. This will keep the cost of gasoline high for a decade.
4. Environmentalists, and self-serving investors like Al Gore who will profit greatly from restrictions on emissions in generating electricity, continue to push for highly restrictive rules on carbon dioxide emissions while they push for "green" energy generation of electricity that is about five times more costly than coal (which accounts for about 50% of the electricity in this country). It is estimated that an Al Gore version of the "Cap and Trade" bill, if enforced, could cost the U.S. about $2 trillion over eight years.
When will some sanity and balance be restored to a concern for the environment and the life and economic well-being of people?

Rep Joe Wilson called Obama a Liar. Now That's The Truth!

The discussion about Joe Wilson and all of the posturing about Obama being insulted or the Office of the President being insulted is a DISTRACTION that the liberal press and the Obama camp love. It is a great misdirection from the fact that JOE WILSON WAS EXACTLY CORRECT.In his Joint Session speech Obama said:
1. "I will NOT SIGN A PLAN THAT ADDS ONE DIME TO OUR DEFICITS". Various studies by independent groups estimate the ADDED DEFICIT over ten years to be between $1 trillion and $1.3 trillion and these are all low ball figures giving ObamaCare the benefit of several very optimistic revenue increases and cost cuts. The actual added deficit if the history for Medicare and Medicaid are any indication will be several trillion more. OBAMA LIE #1!
2. Obama called Medicare a "sacred trust" and said "I WILL PROTECT MEDICARE". But his plan includes $600 billion in Medicare cuts and it destroys Medicare Advantage with $250 billion in cuts used by 1/4 of seniors to choose their own insurance and doctors. OBAMA LIE #2!
3. Obama said that his plan would not deny certain older patients full medical services. But, HR3200 requires seniors to regularly SUBMIT TO "END OF LIFE" COUNSEL RING SESSIONS that combined with cost controls and rationing of care could LEAD TO BEING DENIED LIFE-SAVING TREATMENTS. The bill also includes generous funding for 'comparative effectiveness research" which is a code phrase for limiting care based on a patient's age. OBAMA LIE #3!
4. Obama claimed that his bill did not provide care for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. But, Republican amendments to specifically require proof of legal residence or U. S. citizenship were rejected by the Democrats, thus OPENING THE DOOR FOR ILLEGAL AND RESIDENT ALIENS to receive government-run health care. OBAMA LIE #4!
5. Obama said the REPUBLICANS OFFER NO SOLUTIONS OF their own, only negative comments. House Republicans have OFFERED HUNDREDS OF AMENDMENTS to the Democrat's House and Senate Bills, all have been rejected. Also, Republicans HAVE SUBMITTED HR3200, a health care bill that does not have a "public option" and much more but Pelosi has tied this up in committees. Senate Republicans HAVE SUBMITTED S1099, the "Patients Choice Act" which keeps government out of the relationship between patients and doctors. OBAMA LIE #5.

9/11 Conspiracy and the Resignation of Green Jobs Czar Van Jones

Green Jobs Czar Van Jones signing of the petition that Bush was part of the 9/11 plot reveals more than just paranoia. It reveals such a hate and distrust for all of the institutions of America and White people in America, that Van Jones wants to lash out in any outrageous insane manner he can. He may not even have believed the lunatics behind the 9/11 conspiracy theory but just saw the signing of the petition as one more way to take a shot at Bush and White America in general. Some commentators focus on the 9/11 petition as the most important reason for Van Jones having to resign. However, Jones' signing of this petition is not separate from all of Van Jones other communist and radical statements about Whites taking advantage of and poisoning people of color, his totally unrealistic proposals about the environment, America bashing and his mission to affect radical change in America. They are all the product of Van Jones sick, hateful, bigoted mind. By some measure, he may be intelligent and somehow had the way paved for him through good schools, but this has nothing to do with his his twisted, angry, vengeful emotions that drive his behavior,including but not limited to the signing of the 9/11 petition. Unfortunately, we have probably not seen the end of Van Jones, he is in lock step with Obama and Rev, Jeremiah Wright, and he will likely resurface in Obama's sphere of influence someplace else, perhaps in ACORN or some other corrupt radical group.

The President Must Earn, Not Just Expect, Respect

No open minded person can believe the myth that Obama honestly wants compromise or bipartisanship. At every turn, the Democrats have excluded Republicans form drafting legislation or have voted down every single amendment to the health care bills in the House. Some 800 amendments have been offered and all rejected. A Republican health care bill HR3400 has been offered as an alternative to HR3200 and Pelosi has buried HR3400 in eight committees; it will never see the light of day in any form.Obama's call for bipartisanship means vote for what I want, you may get some pork as a payoff, but I don't want any help or alternative ideas. It's Obama's way or no way and then he lies about Republicans just being against his proposals but not offering any of their own. No wonder the Republicans held up copies of their proposals in the Joint Session speech and it's amazing that only one Republican (Wilson) lost control of his emotions and rightly tagged Obama as a liar during the Joint Session speech. Every President deserves respect when he first enters office. But to keep respect, he must earn it. Nixon and Carter deserved respect at first, but rightly lost respect due to their performance. Obama has done nothing to earn respect since taking office, from his world apology tour, to numerous failures in influencing foreign governments, to all-time record spending with pork laden bills, to proposing a health care system that is so transparently a plan for a single-payer,government-run system with a huge bureaucracy, more pork projects, health care rationing, increased taxes and even more huge deficit spending.

Afghanistan is a Disaster

Obama had the goal of a fair and open election. Instead, President Karzai and his warlords had a rigged election to maintain total power. Obama had the goal of adding troops to Afghanistan in order to defeat Al Qaeda and find Osama Bin Laden. Instead, we are in a war with the Taliban, and at best at a stalemate, and the war has spread dangerously to Pakistan. It is not possible for Obama to be candid on anything; it is not in his genes. He will search around for the best spin to blame failure in Afghanistan on Bush-Cheney or some other scapegoat. The fact of the matter is that Karzai, like Iran, North Korea, the Hamas in Gaza, Hugo Chavez and every other dictator, terrorist and warlord have no respect or fear of the United States under Obama and they will do as they please.

You Can Try To Dress Up The Pig, But it's Still A Pig

Obama's speech to the Joint Session was the same old dreary message that he has given 111 times before in various news conferences, town hall meetings, talks to special interest groups, talks to unions and other TV speeches.
HE KEEPS TRYING TO DRESS UP THE PIG BUT IT'S STILL A PIG.
1.Obama continues to push for the public option which common sense tells us will inevitably lead to a single-payer government run health care system. The mandates in HR3200 and current industry regulations will drive health care to a government run system.
2. Obama promises that we can retain our current health care provider and level of services when common sense tells us that ObamaCare will lead to rationing in order to partially pay for the government subsidized system.
3. Obama now says that his health care reform will not cover illegal aliens and resident aliens but HR 3200 does not explicitly call for this restriction; common sense tells us that loopholes will allow these groups to be covered.
4.Obama says that bureaucrats will not get in the path between you and your doctor, yet HR3200 creates 54 government agencies; common sense tells us that they will get in the way and, like every government bureaucracy, the costs will be much higher than currently forecast.
5. Obama continues to ignore the opportunities for true reform will lower cost with measures like tort reform, removing state barriers to insurance competition and removing tax barriers that currently work against individuals to purchase their own insurance. Common sense tells us that Obama and the Democrats have been, and still are, in the pocket of the Trial Lawyers Association who oppose tort reform and have made huge campaign contributions to the Democrats over many years. Common sense tells us that health reform without a government run system is not acceptable to Obama only because it will not give Obama and the Democrats the power and control that is their first priority, with all the associated pork spending, favoritism, and opportunities for bribes and rewards to supporters as is happening with the Stimulus Bill.
OBAMA IS A MASTER AT MISINFORMATION. WE HAVE TO WATCH WHAT HE DOES (WITH PELOSI) AND NOT WHAT HE SAYS.
HIS SPEECH ABOUT HEALTH CARE REFORM IS ALL BLATHER, IT'S WHAT IS IN BILL HR3200 THAT MATTERS.

What? Trust the Government With Health Care?

1. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - government has had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.
2. Social Security was established in 1935 - government has had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.
3. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - government has had 71 years to get it right; it is broke.
4. The "War on Poverty" started in 1964 - government has had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"; it hasn't worked and our entire country is broke.
5. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - government has had 44 years to get it right; they are broke.
6. Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - government has had 39 years to get it right; it is broke.
7. Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the "Stimulus", the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009... none show any signs of working, although ACORN (now hiding under a new name) appears to have found a new massive pipeline for money from the American taxpayer.
8. "Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took good dependable cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress' generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on another failed experiment.
9. So, with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that "services" government shoved down our throats are failing faster and faster, Obama and the leftist Democrats want Americans to believe they can be trusted with a government-run health care system; 17% of our entire economy?
The majority of voters bought into Obama's slogans, vagaries and lies in the election and Obama expects he can keep playing the same song over and over now that he is office. He believes that his charm and teleprompter speeches will have the public continue to swoon over him and they will follow like good little sheep. There will continue to be those Obama-ites that stay in denial of the fact that Obama a committed socialist, but the majority of citizens seem to be catching on and rejecting his big-government, big-spending, spread the wealth agenda.

The Myth About United States Health Care Not Being The Best

In a typical Liberal smear campaign, the Liberals have been denouncing health care in the United states as being highest in cost but far down the list in quality. Obama, Pelosi, Waxman and others in Congress repeat the theme of the Michael Moore fantasy movie "Sicko"(no-one can legitimately dignify it by calling it a documentary) that U.S. health care is worse than that in many other countries, including Cuba. One had to wonder why we didn't see Ted Kennedy rush off to Cuba or some other country to get treatment for his brain tumor. Meanwhile, hear are some facts:
1. According to an August 2009 report from the National Bureau of Economic Research, patients diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. have a better chance of surviving cancer than anywhere else.
2. The World Health Organizationalso rates the U.S. No.1 out of 191 countries for responsiveness to the needs and choices of the individual patient.

Ethanol: Bush Plan a Total Failure - This is What Happens When the Government Dictates the Solution

There is no doubt that the U.S. needs to reduce its dependence on oil and particularly on imported oil. A posting of Monday August 10, 2009 recounted the total failure of the Energy Department, set up under Carter, to reduce petroleum imports. The government MANDATE TO USE ETHANOL mixed with gasoline, in order to cut carbon-dioxide emissions, has turned out to be another government fiasco, both technically and economically. This was started in 2005 under Bush as part of the global warming scare and was reinforced under Bush with increased government economic incentives in 2007 and 2008. Biofuels like ethanol made by processing edible products like corn (the U.S.), soybeans and sugar are relatively easy to make, but there is not enough farmland to make fuel without raising the cost of feedstock for animals which, in turn, has raised the price of food. Also, once the total emissions for growing, harvesting and processing of corn to ethanol are counted then there is little, if any, reduction in emissions. The total emissions might even be increased if new land has to be cleared and plant life destroyed to grow the corn.
The government's role should be one of supporting research and development into alternative fuels and energy sources, not dictating the solution. In the case of biofuels, the potential for a major gain is in the processing of cellulose based products, obviously not edible, such as grasslands, wood chips, cornstalks and more. There is an enormous quantity of such products worldwide and the successful processing of cellulose based products into ethanol could replace 50 percent or more of the gasoline used in this country. The problem at present is that it is much more difficult to breakdown the cellulose structure than to breakdown the non-cellulose structures of edible products. Methods for breaking down cellulose waste are being researched using chemicals, high temperatures and living organisms but an economical solution is not in hand. The Bush administration, under pressure from environmentalists, panicked and dictated the answer instead of letting private enterprise find a viable solution and, as is usually the case with government solutions, it was the wrong solution.

Obama Pelosi-Reid Calls for Bipartisanship Are Phony

There is no health care compromise that is acceptable to Obama-Pelosi-Reid.
Their calls for bipartisanship are phony.
Republicans have offered over 800 amendments to the various House and Senate bills and every single one of their proposed amendments has been rejected in Democrat controlled committees.
The House Republicans have submitted HR 3400 (a 268 page proposal), which keeps health care in the hands of patients, as an alternative to the Democrat's HR3200 (1017 pages of obfuscation), which puts health care in the hands of government and bureaucrats.
Pelosi has referred HR3400 to eight House committees which is allowed under the rules and only the Speaker Pelosi can allow the bill to come out of committees.
Guess when this will happen.
When Obama-Pelosi-Reid call for bipartisan support of ObamaCare, they mean shut up and vote for what we want.

Obama's Green Jobs Czar - Van Jones

In April 2009, Obama appointed Van Jones his Green Jobs Advisor (Czar). Van Jones has a history of involvement in, and even founding of, leftist social action community groups particularly with an interest in what he views as environmental justice. The best testament to Van Jones' philosophy and intent is to READ VAN JONES OWN WORDS.
VAN JONES: "In jail I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of. I spent the next 10 years (1992-2002) of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary'.... I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th (1992), and then the verdicts came down on April 29th... by August (1992), I was a communist."
VAN JONES: from a 2005 interview: "I'M WILLING TO FORGO THE CHEAP SATISFACTION OF THE RADICAL POSE FOR THE DEEP SATISFACTION OF RADICAL ENDS."
VAN JONES: "The white polluters and the white environmentals are essentially steering poison into the people of colored communities."
VAN JONES: from a March 2009 speech "This movement is deeper than a solar panel. Deeper than a solar panel. Don't stop there. Don't stop there. No, we're going to change the whole system. We're going to change the whole thing. We're not going to put a new battery in a broken system. We want a new system. We want a new system."
In April 2009, Obama appoints Van Jones as his Green jobs Advisor (Czar) and presents him as some sort of transformed capitalist who will use stimulus money for economic growth.
What we have is Van Jones posing for radical ends.
More of Obama's "Change you Can Believe In"!
